modify_device_id(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, modify_device_id(9) is the Kernel API Manual function that modifies the device ID of the Boot BIOS image. That’s the whole quest. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void modify_device_id (int device_id , u8 *boot_data );

It’s giving void — no return-value drama in the synopsis — and it takes the two arguments below. 🫶

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• device_id — the device ID to write. 🎯
• boot_data — the boot image to modify. 🛠️

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Write the supplied device ID to the boot BIOS image. That’s it, that’s the function. You take the device_id and write it into the boot BIOS image, with boot_data being the boot image you’re modifying. No extra lore, no side quests — the page keeps it that short. 😭
